How Does It Work?
Enter your net priceThis is the amount you want to receive for the product or service, before any tax.
Set the VAT rate and quantityQuantity is optional — leave it at 1 for a single item, or set it to price a whole line on an invoice.
Use the gross totalThat is the figure to show on the price tag, quote or invoice total.
What Is It Used For?
Freelancers and small shops usually think in net terms — what actually lands in the bank — while customers only ever see the gross price. Quoting one and invoicing the other is a common and avoidable embarrassment. This tool bridges the two so the number you say out loud is the number on the invoice.
Setting a shelf price when you know the margin you need.
Quoting a client a "total to pay" figure rather than a fee plus tax.
Adding an invoice line for several units of the same item.
Checking that an e-commerce platform is applying the right rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a price with VAT included?
Multiply the net price by 1 plus the rate as a decimal. A net price of 100 at 21% VAT becomes 100 × 1.21 = 121.
Should I round each line or the invoice total?
Practice varies by country. Many tax authorities allow rounding per line or on the total, as long as you are consistent. This calculator shows unrounded maths to two decimals so you can apply your own rule.
What if different items have different VAT rates?
Calculate each group separately and add the totals. Products such as food, books or transport often carry a reduced rate.
How do I go the other way, from a final price back to the net?
Use the Price Before VAT Calculator, which divides the gross price by 1 plus the rate.
Do I charge VAT on delivery?
In most European systems delivery charged as part of a sale carries the same VAT rate as the goods it carries. Add the shipping to the net price before calculating, rather than treating postage as a separate untaxed line.
What if I am not VAT registered?
Then you do not add VAT at all, and the net price is simply the price you charge. Registration thresholds differ by country, and some small businesses register voluntarily so they can reclaim the VAT on their own purchases.
